The South African Premier Division, or DStv Premiership as it is more commonly known, is the top level of competition in South Africa’s league system for professional male football/soccer players and has been in existence since 1996 under various sponsorship arrangements.

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) is the governing body of association football in South Africa at the top level, and its name has been used historically and in common parlance since the league’s inception.

In 1996, the National Soccer League and what was left of the National Professional Soccer League came to an agreement that would lead to the formation of the league. On its official website, the league acknowledges that it still operates under its original name, although for purely legal reasons, while the Premier Soccer League serves as its trade brand.

Two clubs, Ria Stars and Free State Stars, disbanded following the end of the 2001–02 season so that there wouldn’t be as much scheduling conflict between teams.

After taking home the league championship for the first time in a decade in 2004, Kaizer Chiefs successfully defended their crown in 2005. Mamelodi Sundowns won their fourth championship in 2005–06.

When the PSL and SuperSport struck a R 1.6 billion television agreement in 2007, it was the largest sports deal in South Africa’s history and put the league in the top 15 of commercial broadcast deals worldwide. However, in the same year, ABSA took over as title sponsor from Castle Lager, who had done so since the league’s start. Between 2008 and 2010, SuperSport United dominated the competition, winning three consecutive titles.

According to the CAF 5-Year Ranking, the league is currently ranked 6th in Africa as of May 2019.

The PSL awards each team a monthly grant of R 2 million in 2018–19, with money coming from television broadcasting rights and national sponsorships and the league champion receiving R 10 million.

The PSL champions will get R 15 million thanks to an increase in ABSA’s sponsorship to R 39.9 million in 2019. However, on June 4, 2020, ABSA announced that they will no longer be sponsoring the PSL.

Dr. Irvin Khoza and MultiChoice made the announcement that DStv would be the league’s new sponsor on 24 September 2020, thereby renaming the competition the DStv Premiership.

As part of the deal, MultiChoice also revealed that Showmax will take over for DStv as the shirt sponsor of SuperSport United F.C., giving DStv the freedom to solely sponsor the league.
